Because I never tried any of the techniques except the more simple type
stereogram hiding an object depth map under a pattern
and had only a brief interest in this topic
so I shared the things I had bookmarked
I am sure google will turn up some info on stereoscopic cameras

as far as this site
>>This one requires Red+Blue eyeglass to see which I don't have the eyeglass
I didn't have the glasses either
I made my own using small pieces of red and blue (cyan) gels we use for
lighting
most photo studios will have some around, just tape to front of your own
glasses or remove lenses from old sunglasses and tape them on


I was never able to see the magic of this until one day I stared and stared
at this, I find the image lovely anyway but after seeing the magic inside it
I was totally excited and looked at many

I think being a visual artist actually makes it more difficult to unfocus
your eyes and see "in front"
and because we tend to read images in a very literal manner with left brain
then that parable site the guy found the spiritual symbolism.. it was very
creative thought
